Subject: password

How can I get pine to "remember" my password when I log on. Right now,
everytime I log on to pine from unix, it picks up my user - id and asks 
me to confirm it and then asks for my password. I've seen others, however
who just get automatically logged on when the enter pine.
If anyone out there can help, I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Sometimes, certain users are put in a special group by the systems
administrator so they do not have to put in a password to get their e-mail.  

You should ask your systems administrator if this is the case.

What's probably happening is that when you start Pine, it has to attach
to the POP3 server for your mail... log you in inn other words.  That's
why it asks for your username and password.
